Jira Api for C#

I'm trying to create an dot net app to fetch all the jira ticket present in a project, let say DevProject. I'm trying to use jira api but I'm either getting and empty response or 404 error. I'm sure I'm missing something i'm just not sure what.

This is my company's jira account to the baseurl the i'm using is "https://mycompany.atlassian.net" and restUrl is "/rest/api/3/issue/devissue"

here's a simple snippet of code

HttpWebResponse response = null;
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(baseurl+restUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "GET";
request.Accept = "application/json";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + GetEncodedCredentials("myUsename", "password"));

string responseContent;
using (response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
  StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
  responseContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
}

In the password section I tried adding api token too but it didn't work.

I'm expecting it to return either issue or anything to check whether I'm calling the api in right way or i'm missing something. Any suggestion will be helpful.

I have created an API token too using my company's jira domain.

Solution

  • Here is a quick implementation based on their API docs.

    async void Main()
{
    string jiraBaseUrl = "YOUR_BASE_URL";
    string issueKey = "YOUR_TICKET_KEY"; // Replace with your JIRA issue key
    string email = "YOUR_EMAIL_TIED_TO_API_TOKEN";
    string apiToken = "YOUR_API_TOKEN"; // Replace with your JIRA API token

    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
        client.BaseAddress = new Uri(jiraBaseUrl);
        var base64Credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{email}:{apiToken}"));
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", base64Credentials);

        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync($"/rest/api/3/issue/{issueKey}");

        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            Root issue = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(json);
            //json.Dump();
            issue.Dump();
            issue.Fields.Content.Dump();
            string formattedDescription = FormatDescription(issue.Content);
            Console.WriteLine(formattedDescription);
            //var issue = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Issue>(json);
            //Console.WriteLine($"Issue Key: {issue.Key}");
            //Console.WriteLine($"Summary: {issue.Fields.Summary}");
            //Console.WriteLine($"Description: {issue.Fields.Description}");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Error: {response.StatusCode}");
            string errorMessage = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
        }
    }
}
public static string FormatDescription(List<Content> contentList)
{
    if (contentList == null || contentList.Count == 0)
        return string.Empty;

    return string.Join("\n\n", contentList.SelectMany(content => content.Contents.Select(ParseContentItem)));

    string text = contentItem.Text ?? "";

    if (contentItem.Attrs != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(contentItem.Attrs.Text))
    {
        text = contentItem.Attrs.Text;
